GenERAtion-Z

“Does Gen Z have a future?”  T his  was the topic of research conducted recently by a famous organization. Apparently, the road ahead is uncertain especially when it comes to our financial fate (money matters). A lot of us were at crossroads of our careers when the pandemic struck and we were left doubting and rethinking our plans (momos in Satya is final though). Even though companies made profits in the 1st quarter of 2020, none of the employees received any bonus nor any increment in their salaries. Promotion was also denied this year. Gen Z will have to prepare for the future and be ready for any situation (plans other than meeting your gang post lockdown) The older members are facing economic turmoil at work and the younger ones are seeing their opportunities diminish.  The least we can do now is to make ourselves suitable for potential employers post this pandemic. Developing our skill set especially improving our financial literacy is the best thing to do as s...

We are the foodie generation (no doubt in that). From dolma aunty ke momos to tom uncle ki Maggi, from Satya to Hudson, we’ve experienced it all (while conveniently missing our classes). We’re more attracted to easily and quickly prepared food with greater transparency of ingredients. " According to a new study, Gen Z is most likely to be vegetarian."     We’re attracted to food which would look good in our Instagram stories. (Because obviously). It's a proven fact that food that looks good is more likely to taste good. Apart from this, there’s an upcoming factor that is now influencing our choices and preferences. Food which reflects us is now being preferred. We look for personalization in everything and now food is being ordered according to our moods and the person we are dining with. (We know why you ordered the same drink as your crush). How can food manufacturers use this to their advantage? By developing products meant for specific occasions or feelings, the...

"I'll go first", "Oh, come on it's my turn this time." (every game is like this isn't it?) Most of the time its a coin flip that decides who goes first and of course you believe it to be 'fair'. So when your friend places a coin on his thumb and says "call it in the air", you realize that it doesn't really matter whether you pick heads or tails. Every person has a preference, for sure—heads or tails might feel "luckier" to you—but logically the chances are equal, or are they?  The 50-50 proposition is actually more of a 51-49 proposition, if not worse.  51% chance of landing on the same face it was launched. (If it starts out as heads, there's a 51% chance it will end as heads) The sacred coin flip exhibits (at minimum) a whopping 1% bias, and possibly much more (What, even this isn't fair now?) Games that tend to be a fair deal, are actually not (We just saw how we lost those bets cause of the unjust coin flip) To...
